Bow-STtEui..—Yesterdayt wo youngGentletnen presented themselves to Mr. Bllttilki and Mr. Co- NANT ; one of them stated hitnitlf to be Mr. \Val lace Hall, from the country, but at present prac tising in the Ufiit e of Messrs. M`4llister and Co., attot nies, in Freemau•s-conrt, Cornhill. (fin Fri day last, the gentleman accompanying him to the ntlice, and two other friends, went up the Rivet in a boat. In the evening, a violent storm of rain, tionnder, and lightning came on about seven o'clock; they were malting for tinti.cy-hridge to take shelter, but observing on the Fulham side a beatPu track leading to the shore, they alighted from the boat, and took shelter tinder a large tree, a few yards from the water, where they re mained during the storm. As it was clearing, and they were about to return to their boat, they were surrounded by a Gentleman armed with a gun, and .five hiery-servants ; one of theta appeared to be a groom, rand:, was artued with a pitchfork ; the other four were armed with lntiiau Otaheite clubs. The Gentleman armed with a double-barrelled gnu was, he under stoiid, Lord Ranehigh, and the men in livery his servants. His. Lordship demanded to know what they were doing their. Mr. Hall explained to his Lordsittp the cause of their being there, and thiit they weir about to depart and ret tiro to their boat, This was not satisfactory to his Lordship, who declared that he and his companions should answer for their r con d uct at Bow-street °thee ; they expressed their willingness to proceed there, though • they were nut conscious of hating done any thing that was cognizable there, as the extent of is Itat they had done could not possibly amount to more than a trespass, and that there must be considerable dont), even about that, as they bad OM got over any fence mir hedge .and the place tt here they had taken shelter minder , the tree was pettedly open from the river. Mr. Hall stated to his Lordship, that he ant his companions were gentlemen. He presented to hint his card wiih his name and address ; his cow. partions did the same, but his Lordship doubted their represent atisio. One Of his companions re ferred hint to Mr. Scott, of Hammersmith, who is a Magistrate for the comity, and who would prove fie was the person he represented himself to be. Even this did not avail his Lordship; he Observed that he was constantly annoyed by a gen teel rabble, who stole his flowers, and broke down the .branches. of his trees. Mr. Hall, in answer to this observation, said, that lie or his•compa- . nimuts had done .neither, and .were about to de part, but they were prevented by the med.ser vants, by order of his Lordship, particularly two of them, one of them pre,enting a pitchfork, and tie. other holding tip act 111411 all club in a menacing way at them. Mr. Hail remonstrated 'with. his LoidShip on his conduct, assuring him he was acting illegally, and that he was not justified in the course lie was pursuing. Ilk Lordship, how ever, persisted in detaining them; but nicer some . time be r agreed to let them depart, on condition of their paying biS servants tor the trouble they had in time hti•iness. '1 his was resisted, by Mr. Hail and iris friends for about half an hour, when. litk , ling all remonstrance .isilt,_aoti fearing that the boat ,would get swamped and snoiled, he agi red, and did give 7s. to.the servants as a condition for their release, and after that payttlent they were. suliertd to depart to their. hoar. Mr. Hall stated, that. out of courtesy to &No bleman of the rank of Lord litattelegli he had writ. ten to his Lordship, informing hitn'that he should expect him to answer tur his .conduct iu detaining him and his companions half an hour as prisonets, and for obtaining seven'shilliugi for his servants, :Exc. He sent tie letter by the • post, but 'emit( af terwards that be had directed it wrong, by stating his I.4dship's resitlence to be nom y itisteati of Folliato;, ,altl,tougli, Ott inquiring at the Post-' office, he- lcarned that the • letter had been .tor:. wamed to his Lordship's house. Mr.. Hall also scut •a special messengicr to his house, in Fulham, 'to serve his Lordship with a copy of the letter, but he had iikit received any answer, but be Un derstoodilis Lordship had come to lowa 'early yesterday morning. . The Magistrates %vete of opinion, (144( if Mr. Hall could swear he had. parted with the 1110411 to the servants under per sonal tear, it would amount to telour. • • Mr. Hall expressed his determination to indict all the servants. • We give the above as an cc-parte statement, as related by Mr. Hall in the Public Otfice,-(Tiates.) v: LAMBETH-STREET OFFICE. —Aim .Kenzie, ,a girl only 17 years of age, was brought up in custody. of Bootle, a beadle cif Wnitechapel, who charged ner with parading the streets at an early hour yes terday morning, .endeavottrimg to pith Hp men.— The mitoitutilte female developed, the following diigracetul particulars was apprenticed from Bishttpsgate parish to a weaver, of ‘Vilks 4treet, where ,she Was seduced and forsaken by tier waster, who sent her about her business to procure her own living as she could. She was then deroyed to the house of a Mrs. Jacobs, a woman of a most infamous character, residing in Mill-yard, Whitechapel, and there she procured 'a home by the infamous means before meutioned. There were several other females, younger than herself, in the sane wretched line of lite in.the house, of which Mrs. Jacobs is the owner. The palish officers have noticed the house, and per.- Sons are employed to p art o e t h at p ar t of the neighbourhood, with a caution—" Beware Abaci houses," and a large placard stuck•up at the front of the house, " A banning shame."--The Magis trate ordered that the gill should he taken ,back her master's employ. if he could he found ; and if not, she should' be'setit w ber parish. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 30. REED, IN THE MATTER OP' REED. Mr. BELT., in this case, prayed his Lordship to order the interest arising from a slim of 10,0001. to be paid to the petitioner. The following is a brief summary of the facts of the case :—The pre sent applicant was the natural son at the testa tor, who, in his will, bequeathed a sum of 10001. for the purpose of edocati•tg him. On leaving school, he was to be placed in a merchant's house, in order to fit him for entering into business, for which purpose; the testator also bequeathed a sum of 5,0001. He also left him a stun of 10,0001. on his arriving at the age of tWenty•six, with a pro viso, that his conduct should meet the approba tion of ,tire executors, who the testator desired to keep a watchful eye over the conduct of his son, considering, that if he were not to place him tinder some restriction, he would ,quatider the whole of the property and entail ruin and misery on himself. The 9011 h aviog 'entered into trade before he had attained the age of twenty one, became insolvent, and took the benefit of an insolvent Act, on which occasion he executed an assignment, according to the terms of that Act, of all his property and ex pectancies, in trust, for the liquidation of his debts - %Viler* the cause was originally heard before the Master of the Rolls, his 11ononr pressed an opinion, .that it would be necessary that the Crown should he made a party to the suit, ns if • the Executors should not be satisfied with the conduct of their Ward, they might refuse to pay over the 10,0001. to him - , and the Crown would become entitled to it, in consequence of 110 person being named in the will to take the pro perty, io the event of the Executors not. deeming it right In pay the money to the son. The Attor ney-General, in consequence, became on the part of the Crhwtt a party to the suit. Mr. Cott.Erson, on the part of the Assignees, this day, appeared to claim the sum in question, for the liquidation of the In•oivent's debts ; anti The SOLICITOR-GENUKAL., ou the part of the Crown. • The LORD CHANcELLOR deprecated the bt tog lug the case forward, ott the pt•csetu occasion, in the form of a toolioft.
